I think that standard electronics distribution channels would be
good for this sort of thing. I don't know if they can get down
much below $6.56, but I know I paid about $1.80 for 54LP/Ps back
about 1992. Of course, I bought 11K of them.......

Call your local Microchip distributor. If you'd include your
physical location, it'd be easier for us to point you in the
right direction.
